Before You See the Doctor - Don't Stretch

Good medical help is the first step in treating an injury. There is a running underground which can recommend local doctors who treat runners. Talk with some long-term runners. Every injury requires special treatment and you want to find the specialist who has successfully treated the greatest number of similar problems. Don't stretch the injured area unless a doctor advises you to. Many injuries are actually tears in the tendons, muscles or other tissue and stretching will only aggravate the problem.
